Glacier Creek in Girdwood

we went to girdwood, on our way bk to anchorage, past the Turnagain Arm, wild life rehab center, beautiful scenery and because of the slight mist in the air, lots of rainbows. what an awesome scenery day!!. this beautiful cabin (house) belongs to amanda's boss...she lets gord and amanda come and stay any time. we had our supper here. this is the only place in alaska that has a ski hill, and it was hard to believe! very touristy town with lots of cabins tucked in among the trees. caleb & baby avery conked out.
